Welcome to Gold Street News, my personal blog about the less-known machinations of money. I’m not an economist, so this isn't going to be too technical or advanced. I started studying our banking policy after the 2008 meltdown. I was so disturbed by what I learned, I had to do something. I wrote a novel, Gold Street, detailing how our monetary system works. This isn't taught in Economics 101 at university. When monetary theory is mentioned at all, it is so dry, so long-winded, and made so complicated, it’s nearly undecipherable. But it’s not that difficult to understand. I thought if I sprinkled economics into a fast-moving thriller, I could engage readers with a story that would culminate not only with a climax, but also an understanding of the U.S. economy. (Gold Street is available on Amazon and currently has a five-star rating.) I am writing this blog to raise awareness on how our economy works. To this end, I’m going to examine current and past events that are directly or indirectly related to the use, production, and control of money in this country. I invite you to join me and discover how our economy really works.
